"You took me as a walk in on a rainy Monday morning, back a month ago, to tint both driver and passenger window with ceramic! I got pretty lucky that day and you treated me and my vehicle with respect and was fortunate enough to be in and out in a couple hrs!! I realize that this is not typical for scheduling and I want to make that clear. Your installer did an awesome job and I admit I was a bit concerned when he told me "don't roll your windows down for five days"… The quality of work is excellent and I am very happy. From my experience, I highly recommend doing business with these people!!"

"The windows were initially very badly done, then Mustafa explained that the glass cleaner bottle was contaminated with degreaser. He promptly we did all my windows. I'm very satisfied"

"My car had pet hair and wasn't cleaned on the inside for a few years — they did an amazing job, all the hair was gone, the inside of the car looked like new! The mats, seats, windows and all areas of the car were cleaned where the car looked and smelled new. I am so impressed with the work, the friendly staff and the value of the service provided."

"The people at Wash my Ride were very kind, professional and accommodating. They offer a large variety of services and even fixed a rock chip in my windshield so it wouldn't spread. They are close to chinook mall if you need to kill time but also have coffee and a TV."

FAQ

Window Tint in Calgary Answered

Alberta tint legality, carbon vs ceramic, heat rejection, and aftercare — straight answers.

Under Alberta's Vehicle Equipment Regulation (Traffic Safety Act), you can apply any shade you like to the rear side windows and the rear windshield, as long as your vehicle has working side mirrors on both sides. Aftermarket tint is NOT permitted on the front driver and passenger windows, and the windshield may only carry a tinted strip along the top (above the manufacturer's AS1 line). At Obsidian Auto we apply legal rear tint to factory spec, and we'll walk you through exactly what's compliant for your vehicle before we start — no surprises, no guesswork.
Carbon tint is a color-stable dyed film: it delivers privacy, a clean dark look, and 99% UV protection without ever fading to purple, but its heat rejection is standard. Ceramic tint (our Premium Nano-Ceramic line) uses non-metallic ceramic particles that block infrared heat — the part of sunlight you actually feel — rejecting up to 88% of IR at our 20% shade while staying signal-friendly. In Calgary, carbon starts at $249 for two front windows and ceramic at $299; ceramic is the upgrade most clients choose for the heat performance through our long, high-UV summers.
Yes. Calgary sits at roughly 1,045 m elevation with some of the most intense UV exposure of any major Canadian city, and chinook sun glare is relentless. Our Premium Nano-Ceramic tint rejects up to 88% of infrared heat and 99.9% of UV rays, dropping cabin temperature by up to 15°C and protecting leather and dashboards from cracking and fade. For a daily-driven vehicle parked outdoors, ceramic tint pays for itself in comfort and interior preservation.
No. Older metallic and 'mirror' tints interfered with signals because metal blocks radio waves. Our nano-ceramic films use non-conductive ceramic particles, so they're completely signal-friendly for GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, radio, and radar/lidar cruise systems. You get full heat rejection with zero impact on your electronics.
It depends on the shade and film quality. High-quality ceramic tint at 35% or 50% VLT keeps excellent inside-out clarity, even on dark winter evenings and through Deerfoot Trail's low chinook glare. Cheap dyed films are what look murky at night. For year-round Alberta driving we typically recommend a 50% or 35% ceramic shade on any legally tintable glass where night clarity matters most.
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is the percentage of light a film lets through, so a lower number means a darker tint: 5% VLT ('limo') is the darkest and 70% is nearly clear. Rear glass in Alberta can go as dark as 5%, which is popular on trucks and SUVs for privacy. For a factory-matched look on a vehicle that already has dark rear glass, a 20% ceramic shade blends seamlessly.
Wait 3 to 5 days after installation before rolling your windows down. That gives the mounting solution time to fully evaporate and the adhesive to cure to the glass. Rolling them down too early can peel or shift the film. Minor haze or small water pockets in the first week are normal and disappear as the film dries — our lifetime warranty covers any film that bubbles, peels, or discolours after that.
